AI Search refers to search experiences that use generative AI models to synthesise answers rather than return ranked links. Major surfaces include Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews, Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT Search, and Perplexity. By mid-2026 these surfaces had reshaped organic CTR patterns across multiple markets, with citation in AI-generated answers becoming a parallel visibility metric alongside traditional search rankings.
